No, I find American politics interesting and entertaining.

I'd venture to guess that most Americans have diverse backgrounds (or bloodlines, if you like).

I am English, Russian, and Polish.

Seen a Martian lately?
So Mayans never existed to begin with, so we should not wonder as to their extinction and/or the social behaviors that may have led to that extinction? Neither that or corrective action isn't necessary to insure we don't wind up the same way. Stay the course of killing the babies and shoot we'll last forever.

It's okay...like I said, we are a people that we are really just not that smart to make good choices for ourselves or each other. Our extinction is inevitable, just as the Mayans before us.

Oh and I'm German by the way...my birth mother lived in Shulenburg, TX, just outside of Houston. Hint, she didn't abort.

That's fine, but you have to admit it reeks of "the pot calling the kettle black" when you tell others to mind their own business when discussing your opposition to laws in the US.

Don't worry. You'll collapse from lack of resources before your population dwindles due to right-wingers not being allowed to force women to have children against their will.

There was a day, that responsibility was taught. The easy way and the hard way.
Today, very few are responsible and want to be bailed out by someone else, when things don't go their way.

Were I an American I'd probably feel the same way; Canadian politics used to be boring, now it's just depressing. But American politics don't really affect my life.

Also, I get a bit of a sneak preview. Canada is odd in that it watches the US do everything wrong, then follows suit about ten years later.

You do know abortion is never going to go away right? Never. Just like war is never going to go away. Just like killing and justifying that killing is never going to go away. It is much harder for the government to control well populated countries where the diversity of thought and their influence on laws against stronger government is greater.

Less people, less to worry about. Until one day of course it's just gone, but we don't want to talk about that.

Anymore than we want to talk about taking personal responsibility for ones actions without the aid of government intervention.

See, when tax dollars pay (Obamacare covers) that is when what you do, becomes, every body business.

Funny how that works.

Some one is being manipulated here and I don't think it's me.

Like when women are allowed to terminate abortions even though it makes the right sad? Like that?

It doesn't, because I'm not actually proposing legislation that interferes in a woman's personal decision because it upsets me personally.

I should have paid more attention to the 'location'.

I think the U.S. watches Europe. So much of what we do goes hand in hand with what I see coming up out of there.

Some of the states have keep British laws on their books.
